I'm excited! Heading out right now to have the tires on the rear mounted. Post them up here today.

I'm anxious to see the final results!! I've been kicking around many options and slotted mags are a definite one.

SNTOS63 · 01-25-2012, 08:27 PM

DAMN IT! Not gonna work! I need at least -4" or -4.5" back spacing! These mags are standard 3" back spacing. Duh! I got so excited that I didn't think of this! Back to the drawing board. Damn it looks tough too!

Can you space your fenders out??

SNTOS63 · 01-25-2012, 10:33 PM

That's what I was thinking too! I'll start looking into this... Bummer...

SNTOS63 · 01-25-2012, 10:35 PM

Maybe I'll change out the rear end for a shorter one...

SNTOS63 · 01-25-2012, 08:30 PM

Anyone got any leads to a pair with at least a -4.5" back space????

chevy_mike · 01-25-2012, 09:13 PM

Man that's a bummer!!! Looks sweet. As for finding some with that deep of back spacing, good luck. I can't recall finding any that had more than a 4" BS.

Are you running an axle out of a '71+ truck or did you keep the stock housing and put axle shafts in? The '71+ axles are wider.

markeb01 · 01-25-2012, 11:17 PM

It would be a shame to not be able to use those wheels. They look great.

American Racing does make a 15x8 with a 5x5 pattern and 4.5” backspace – part number A695873 in the Ansen Sprint series. Not sure if the extra inch in width would still cause a problem on the fender side or not.

They also list a 15x7 with a 4” offset – part number A695773. Perhaps if you could find the new wheels on sale somewhere they might cost less than swapping the rear axle.

That wheel should work just fine.

SNTOS63 · 01-26-2012, 01:28 AM

Yeah thanks for the info guys. I'm going to look into both of those options.

Just some flicks at the tire shop. Figured I'd take a few pics of the red steelies!

I hope you get it sorted out - those wheels look killer. Seriously, those are really nice. Have you been hangin out with Lakeroadster!!

SNTOS63 · 01-28-2012, 07:12 PM

For now, these look tough enough!

chevy_mike · 01-28-2012, 08:25 PM

Dude you're killing me! Stop with the artsy fartsy pics and how about one of the wheel, straight on, close enough to see the full wheel and tire without anything else.

Want to get an idea of how it looks straight on and not from an angle. Thanks!!! and looking good.

SNTOS63 · 01-28-2012, 08:41 PM

Haha! Yeah I get carried away! Here you go chevy_mike!

I'm painting the rears the same cast iron grey with a trim ring to make them match a lil. Till I find the right slotted mags.

Sweet man!!! Thanks a bunch. I think you're on the right track with painting the rears with trim rings for the time being.

SNTOS63 · 01-29-2012, 03:53 PM

Hey Chevy mike, yeah I did use a '71 rearend. The track is one inch wider than the stock one on each side. I figure I'll be cool with a pair of new Ansen sprints cause they have a back spacing of -4", with will fit just like these steelies on now. (cross my fingers)
